.Arte-ian Wells.

There are artesian wells m Tulars county, California, that flow from Jb,- 0O0 to 230O.OOO per day. These wells cost to bore only about Sl,uUO each The Argonaut is our authority. it says there are hundreds of these wells ID Iu- lare county alone, but with all the high y favorable conditions for arteslan bOr- Ing Tn California there are lands lylng outside of the artesian belt where Artc- sian water cannot be had-there ls pien- ty of water but It won't rise, These outside of the artesisn belt lands are also in Tulare county. Of course NC need not repeat what all sll school boys know, that water tends to an equih- brium. This is the whole of the law of hydros.atlcs. IL Is the science of the equilibrium of hQulds. While no stream ri5ss higher than its fountain, 1t IS a law of its being to rise to Bn equal height, or to leVel-out a!l conditions must be favorable. lt must have no chance to escape. There are streams several thousand feet higher than our valley. live can pass through solid strata, and strike confined body of water, it must come up to its level What is true of Iulsre county may be true of Santa Fe. We shall never know till We try, and the prize ls worth the contention. While we are boring for water, We are In the llne ot making other discoveries. Let us go ahead and find out what lies beneath the surface of our beautiful valley.

Particulars of the Capture.

From Gov. Torres vhJ has Just re turned from Gusy mas. and who went down to bs present st the capture Of Csjeme. we learn the foilowIng partIcu lars CsJeme's followers had nearly ail deserted him, and he had come Co ihe Rancho de Gusymas, 9 miles from tho city of Guaymas, some tso months ago to the house of his sister who lived at this ranch. The old chIef thinking by coming SO near to his enemies that no one would look for him % near, but Governor Torres had scout out looking for Cajeme who gatherad information G little at time as tO Ca!eme's wherea t1uts, until It led him tO the certain conclusion that he had tracked the SIly old chief to his lair, and ss soon ss this scout was thoroughly convinced of tho correctness of his conclusions he teie graphed Go Torres, who immediately went tO Guaymas, and with Ganersl Martinez and soldiers they repaired Co the rancho, and surrounded it. and g" captured the head of the YaquI natlo n.
 The Governor says be thinks CsJeme will be sent tO the City of M IicJ ant perhaps confined somewhere awBy from his tribe, but will not be shot. So our telegraphic correspondent st Quay mas was mistaken about CHJemes wiling ness to surrender. But he was hunted down by the agent of the Governor and compelled 10 surrender by being sur roanded by the Mexican soldiers, and thus ends a long and bloody Indian war in our ueighbOring republic.

TUCSON PIMA

PHENIx has built its boom by the construction of vast system of Irrigs- ting canals, and is now beginning to en- ter upon the handsome reward of it's en- ergy and enterprise. Florence has awakened to realization that it will become Ca beautiful and attractive city if Q similar course IS pursued and it has gone at the work of building 8 nam moth canal that will irrigate many thou sands of acres of fertile lands. Its brightest hopes will surely be realized for the shadow ot tie boom is now ad- vGncing upon it. Even Yuma, whose clsim to fame has been based almost exclusively upon is being the scene of a wretched old chestnut tha. seems to oe the only immortal part of the unior tunate soldier who died snd shiyered in hsdes; even Yuma, serenely takes the floor and announces iisell the future metropolis of the world, with the figures to back i's seemingly extrsvagant claim. Cut down its theoretical greatness ten field, to a tangible praciicability, and it IS truly astounding. In every instance both Tn Arizona and in California, the rapid advance to prosperity is based upon the development of water; water Is she one element of value, and upon its rippling surface alone the boom rides securely, gathering in the drifting humanity that passes along the current of travel. Knowing these facts, and fully realizing the still more important one that upon line drawn from the west end of the Santa Catalinas across tbe valley to the Tucson mountains, vol- ume of water can be brought to the surface for irrisatin2 purposes that ex- ceeds iE volume any one Of the instances above quoted, is 1t not strange why the people of Tucson do not cooperate in developing one grand enterprise that will be capable Of supplying the entire breadth of the valley between this city and MGrlcops? We all know that the water Is available and the land is ablndant and fertile, and that it is easily cultivated when water Is supplied. We can well reason thnt unless we build upon thls basis of water. we will not build at all. Private interests and weak corporations are fast acquiring titles to small holdings that will eventually be absorbed by the necessities of large enterprise only a. greatly enhanced value, and il the several interests could only be brought to terms ot consoliia- ton. and general assistance be gwen by the public, there Is DO reason why the most per'ec: boom that can he COG ceived should not smile beniGuly upon this ancient pueblo.
